Palm Coast hosted a Valentine's Sweetheart Dance on Feb. 9, its first in three years.
Community Center Supervisor Carrie Todd said the dance had a great turnout, with over 70 people in attendance. The city had tried to host a similar dance several years ago, she said, but not many people showed up.
"We're so thrilled," Todd said. "We'd love to do make this a yearly thing."
The goal of the dance, Todd said, was to provide entertainment suitable for everyone in a family-friendly space for Palm Coast residents.
The dance cost $15 per attendee, with children three and under entering for free. Including the last minute walk-ins, 72 people registered for the dance, not including those under three. Carrabba's Italian Grill donated the food, Todd said.
The music was performed by Lemont Harris, the DJ with DJLTH. Lauren Jaussi, the owner and dance instructor at The Dance Method studio, gave a short dance lesson to attendees, too.
